A subdomain is the section of the web address which is before a domain name and you've most likely seen a lot of subdomains while browsing world wide web. For instance, many websites such as Wikipedia have versions in different languages using subdomains - en.wikipedia.org, de.wikipedia.org and so forth. The main advantage of employing a subdomain is that it can have an independent website and its own records, so you're able to even host it on another server. The practical use is that you can have a supplementary website, like an e-learning portal for students as well as the primary school site. If you are using subdomains rather than subfolders, it will be much easier to perform maintenance or to upgrade a particular site, not mentioning that it will be more secure to have the websites separate from one another.
Subdomains in Shared Hosting
Our shared hosting plans will allow you to set up countless subdomains for any domain name hosted within your account without any difficulty. As long as the main domain address is added, it takes two clicks to set up a subdomain and choose what folder it will open (if different from the default one), create custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions, set a shared IP address or a dedicated one, plus much more. All subdomains are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order under their main domain for quick access and management. By right-clicking on any of them and by using instant access buttons you can view the error logs, visitor statistics or site files for that specific subdomain. We haven't set a restriction for the total amount of subdomains that you can create with any of our plans, so you can have as many as you want.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you get a semi-dedicated server plan, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you would like simply because this feature is unrestricted. For the reason that the web hosting plans are quite powerful, we have decided not to set any restriction on the amount of subdomains. Our sophisticated Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to create a new subdomain with no more than a couple of clicks, to pick which folder it will access in the account, to enable FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and many more. For your convenience, all subdomains will be listed under their root domain, so that you can very easily see and handle them. Using fast access links, you will also be able to open the website files for any of the subdomains that you have or check out its DNS records.
